More About This Recipe

Cookies for Santa? That's so last Christmas. Rock his eve with North Pole Cupcakes instead!
Everyone loves cookies, but imagine how Santa feels eating plate after plate of cookies all in one night. I think Santa would welcome something different on his treat plate with open arms.
Don’t worry, we’re not going to completely turn his world upside down by replacing his cookies with a platter of celery sticks; we all know Santa’s engine runs off sugar.
Surprise him with a plate full of fluffy white North Pole Cupcakes (inspired by Ally Hudsons Gingerbread Party Ally Hudsons Gingerbread Party) instead of just another plate of dried out Christmas cookies.
These cupcakes are super easy to put together. Sometimes creative cupcakes require rare, hard to find ingredients but for these all you need is a cake mix, frosting, sprinkles, candy canes, and some red candies.
I made these with my preschool aged son and some of his friends and they were able to easily assemble them by themselves. They were so proud of their work.
And just in case Santa gets delirious in the middle of his long night and forgets where he lives while visiting every house in the world (not to mention being in a sugar coma), we’ve left a reminder on his fluffy cupcake. The small delicate sign on the cupcakes spells out “North Pole” to remind him where his home is.

Whether it's for family, friends, or party, these holiday desserts are ready to bring a touch of sweetness to any event.
